Career and Vocation

This short extract gives you a taste of your personal "Career and Vocation" horoscope by Liz
Greene. The small samples taken from various chapters convey an impression of the complete
vocation horoscope (18-25 pages) which can be
ordered as an E-Horoscope or a bound book in the AstroShop.

When we are children, people say to us, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" At that age, we
usually have dreams. When we are children, we are still capable of hearing the voice of the soul.
As we grow older, the questions change. There is no longer time for dreaming; we must now "face
reality" and think about how to survive in the big, bad old world.

This astrological report is about your vocation. It is meant to help you get a sense of what you
might be good at and what might be good for you, so that your working life has a meaning as well
as a pay cheque.

II. How You See the World

This chapter briefly describes your personal perspective on life and explains how you can best
express this in your career.

III. Your aptitudes and strengths

This chapter, which contains 8-10 pages, is one of the most comprehensive sections in the "Career
and Vocation" horoscope. Here is a short selection of three samples from the numerous aptitudes
described in the complete report.

An honest and realistic understanding of your fundamental strengths can help you to orientate
yourself in the world and put your energy into areas where you can hope to shine and achieve at
least many of your most cherished goals.

[..] You are also likely to be
fastidious in your response to work colleagues. While you are probably not averse to working
within an organisation or in company with others, you need to be sure that those who sit alongside
you or share your physical work space are themselves [...]

[..] Working for
yourself might suit you admirably, allowing you to create the kind of space you need. But you also
need some feedback from others. If you work as an artist or designer, you need to show your work,
and let others give you the encouragement you crave. You enjoy [...]

[..] This probably also gives you a gift for languages as well as a
talent for mimicry. You might make a fine writer, a gifted interpreter, or a sympathetic
translator of others' work. You can put things tactfully and gracefully, but you can also use
language to carry an emotional [...]

IV. Know Your Limits

This chapter describes your personal limitations and suggests how you can deal with these in your
professional life. In the complete horoscope, this chapter is about 5-7 pages in length.

Recognising your innate limitations can help you to focus your energy in the right direction and
get the maximum fulfilment from your work.

[..] People whose surface behaviour or manner you might initially
disapprove of could turn out to be valuable work colleagues or allies; and small foibles which you
might focus on may be irrelevant to building good working relationships. This same critical
attitude could also [...]

[..] But you, too, have an aggressive instinct tucked away inside like
every other human, and you too can become genuinely angry if your boundaries are invaded or you
are exploited or taken for granted. You may need to learn to assert yourself more, and worry about
offending [...]

V. Working with Others

The two final chapters of "Career and Vocation" deal with the way you work together with your
colleagues in your everyday working life, and what success means to you personally.

One of the most important factors to consider in terms of your direction in life is how you work
with others. Everyone has his or her own style of relating in the working environment; everyone
has different needs and requirements.

VI. What Success Really Means to You

When people speak of "success", they generally mean a position of importance in the world's eyes,
or a job that yields lots of money and all the material pleasures and comforts that implies. But
success, in terms of the deeper issue of vocation, is a highly individual thing that means
different things to different people.
